...FACTS. Any kind, but do get them in. They are what we look for--a name, a place, an allusion, an object, a brand of deodorant, the titles of six poems in a row, even an occasional date. This, son, makes for interesting (if effortless) reading, and that is what gets A's. Underline them, capitalize them, inset them in outline form: be sure we don't miss them.

We specifically cally object to his assertion that Hillels are merely pawns of larger Jewish organizations, whose members willfully work to stop the progress of African-Americans. We respect the right of the BSA to invite whomever they wish to their programs; however, we are shocked and saddened by the choice of this divisive and hurtful speaker...
